After total hysterectomy, it is necessary to pay attention to avoiding stimulation of the incision, avoiding abdominal exertion and keeping the vulva clean.
1. Avoid stimulating the incision: patients are usually forbidden to take a bath or swim after the operation to avoid stimulating the wound and causing infection. At the same time, keep the wound clean and dry, and inform the doctor in time to change the dressing if there is blood or fluid seepage.
2. Avoid abdominal exertion: If patients squat for a long time too soon after surgery, squatting and lifting heavy objects and other abdominal exertion, it may increase the risk of incision cracking and vaginal stump prolapse.
3. Keep the vulva clean: patients need to keep the vulva clean as much as possible to avoid infection, in order to minimize infection in the pelvic and abdominal cavity caused by vaginal inflammation.
Nutritional balance is also required after total hysterectomy. Specific precautions and care measures should be taken after consulting with a healthcare professional. If postoperative discomfort occurs, it is recommended to inform the doctor in time for treatment.
